I am in contract sales mostly sale to insurance companies...
so a part of my job is entertaining accounts....hence the warrios season tickets
dinner a few drinks then off to the roaracle.
and yes i am sharing the fun part of my job...why share the boring parts right?

I'm still getting my degree, but I'm currently interning at a PR firm where I'll have a career after my schooling's over. The only change will be the title, from "intern" to "junior associate" once I graduate... and, hopefully, up the ladder from there.

Well, I have no interesting side of my job unless your a tech dork like me.

I am a Data Warehouse Developer. Have been in the IT field for about 11 years now. My job mostly entail the extraction and manipulation of data from transactional ERP systems into a separate Data Warehouse environment. I also do some report writing on the data I have loaded.

I could have a very different tale to tell as a good family friend was a bigwig at Electronic Arts and I had a chance to get an entry level job in their EA Sports department but I passed because I had another offer at a lot more money.

Yeah, I've read that EA is not a bad place to be... but they don't pay much and deadlines are really a b*tch.

Of course, it's not first hand experience. Might have been a pissed off employee...

I just lost my job i was an account manager for a company called compusa wich went out of business.... my store closed its doors last week, just came from an interview at pelco its funny the guy that interviewed me
was one of the guys i trained at compusa haha all we talked about was compusa closing anyway i made it to a second interview.

unemployment checks suck.... its a good thing i won a good ammount of money
at catche creek last year.

Yes, yes, (insert joke about teens/crappy job/immaturity).

You should get paid more.

As for EA - As much as I loathe the company for their business practices I can say that their terrible treatment of employees has benefitted me. Because they overworked their engineers California passed a law last year saying people in our industry had to be paid overtime - so that worked out for me.

No sh*t. It's not an easy job at all.

Yeah... and you're lucky you have that kind of regulation. There's nothing like that around here, so you have to work overtime on a regular basis if you want to keep your job... and, instead of paying you for it, you get one free day once you've done enough hours...

Over here we have "work place agreements" which pretty much make things better for the employer and worse for employees, giving you less rate of pay if you do overtime. If you happen to be in a company where there is no WPA, you get time and a half (1.5 times your hourly rate) if you work over 8 hours on any given day and/or over 38 hours in a week
